Ihave had this for afew years now so I really can tell you it is a great carry piece. I load my own target ammo, I'm a beginner, and the xdm will always gobble them up. Always goes bang when I tell it to, flings them out the side, and puts that lead pill EXACTLY where I point. The finish has held up like rhino lining and to be honest it doesn't even care if it's clean or dirty. I don't abuse this baby but I just don't have the time to clean and oil her every other day. I carry it in my IWB holster to and from my truck's glove compartment to my little finger print safe every day. One time it fell out of my holster while I was taking the trash out to the road on my quad, out took me a couple days to find her in the tall grass, very stressful days. She got a little wet from dew and a little dirty but was no worse for wear than one of my hunting babies goes thru on a rainy or snowy day. One of the things that differs the xd from the xd is the salt bath finish. I have tested it and report back that it is badass. It may not be shiny and pretty, but it's tough as nails. That's what I want with the piece I carry around with me every where I go. This is the thing I have that I trust my life to. God forbid the day ever comes that I need it in a situation like that, but if it does, I have a .40 with a battle mag full of teflon inserted life savers. I chose the 3.8 barrel and the shorty hand grip model. I regret neither choice. The short barrel makes it really nice to carry and the short grip with the small mag helps with concealment as well. It also makes it a lot lighter. Most days I use the 16rd "battle mags" with the plastic spacer pieces that match perfectly to the grip on my xdm. You'd never know it had the short grip by the way it handled or looked. On the rare days I'm wearing shorts or other wise light clothing I pop in one of my short 8rd mags (without the plastic spacers) and hit the road. I'm aware of the dangers that come with striker fired models. I agree that they will never be as safe as a Sao/ dao revolver with a safety. This model does have a few extra safety features that do not hamper its performance at all. It also can carry 16, something no revolver will ever do. If I can't get it done with 16 it's time to put it down and pick up something a little longer, blacker, and much louder. After having this xdm for years I can say that it has never let me down and I trust my life to it. It functions as well as it did the day I picked her up from my FFL. It has never given me any problems and has chewed up and spit out well over 500 rounds of every different type of ammo you can imagine. If you're on the fence about it, get down and put your order in to Buds. They will get it to your ffl asap and rest assured your best price will come from Buds.

First time doing business with Bud's and it was an awsome experience from start to finish. I used the 90 day layaway plan to purchase the XDM 40 3.8 compact and am very pleased with my purchase. The gun arrived at my local FFL three days after I made my last payment. Bud's will be the only place I purchase firearms from in the future. As far s the gun, I haven't had a chance to take it to the range yet. It is very concealable and feels very nice in my hands.

This was my first purchase thru Buds, the entire process was fantastic top to bottom. Excellent communication & Ultra fast shipping. The Springfield XDM was perfect right out of the case, and a pleasure to use at the range. Thanks for a great experience with your store and looking forward to doing business with you in the future.

Springfield XDM 3.8 .40 sw compact is a great buy. Easy to shoot very accurate and easy to clean! 300 plus rounds so far and not a single misfire. This is my second Springfield and I love it. Buds was awesome with delivery and notification. I will buy future guns from Buds for sure.

Ordered online on 11/02/2012 and received it on 11/06/2012, awesome job guys. I already owned an XD Tactical in .40 s/w and the compact XDM was the perfect addition to my collection. Put over 400 rounds down range and it never missed a beat. Buds and Springfield Armory delivered. I highly recommend the XDM 3.8" compact model.

Great Gun. I was trying to decide between the 4.5 or 3.8, the compact or full size, and the 9mm or 40 sw. I think I chose the exact right one. I love the handle of the gun. Shoots amazing right out of the box. My bother got the 9mm and we could hardly tell the difference in the recoil at all. I love the ability to have the full size or the compact size depending on what I'm using it for. Love the gun and buds was great and cheeper than anything else I've found

Excellent pistol! I use this for carry purposes and it is the perfect carry weapon. Very safe, functional, reliable, and concealable. Being a compact, the grip is shorter and easier to conceal. Definitely buy a grip extension like Pearce. It feels perfect in my hand. Well balanced. Sights are white and quite easy to see.

The others have said it probably better than I can This Pistol is fantastic..This is my first Springfield pistol and I am Very Impressed...I am use to the military issue Beretta 92 (which I have in my collection). After shooting the XDM I will be buying another. Not only is the trigger pull smooth and short, but with the match grade barrel the 40 kicks no more than my Beretta. I thought with the polymer it would cause the pistol to kick more, because of being lighter material. Brake down is easy and easy to put back together. The 11 rnd mag makes it nice for conceal and 16 rnd mag nice for the range and home defense, along with the rest of the gear you can't beat the price. As most have commented Buds Has The Best Price on this pistol and on all the other weapon I have purchased on their web sight. Right along with cleaning gear and ammo. Buds is also the only web site that has BUYSAFE which i will comment more on my mossberg 930spx (85370) comments. Thanks Buds with the savings I'm able to buy more guns!!!

This is my first gun purchase and I am well-impressed. I have put 100 rounds through it and each shot was effortless and spectacular. I am very pleased with the service provided by Buds and how expedient my gun was received by my FFL dealer. The case and accessories are arrived flawless and are of the highest quality. This is hands down the best handgun I have ever used.

On time, shoots great, accurate. Very happy with Buds and XD hand gun. Great for new shooters and experienced shooters as well. Good for carry, packs a punch, easy to handle and shoot. Everything you need in the box.

I just purchased a Springfield XDM 40 cal 3.8 Compact Black. Great price-thanks to Buds!!!! This is the first pistol I ever bought and I am still a novice in the world of hand guns. However, I did my research including shooting an XD compact 9 mm and 40 cal as well as several other gun makers before making any decision. I am the “researching” type of person for sure, especially for my first handgun. The last time I was at the range was 20+ years ago as a teenager with my father. Two weeks ago, I went to the range and fired the XD compact and it fit so well in my hand and the results showed immediately. I researched online to obtain feedback from those that own the new XDM 40 cal compact and all was positive. Boom! I knew I have found my first handgun! I submitted my order on a Tuesday afternoon and it was delivered to my FFL dealer on Friday! Wow! That was fast Bud!!!! I picked it up on Saturday and immediately went to the range and fired 150 rounds (Used Federal and Winchester FMJ rounds). It was flawless and accurate right out of the box!!!! I was so impressed with the feel of the pistol and most importantly the accuracy! I used both magazines that came with it (The compact and xtension) and both were as expected. This pistol is exactly what I wanted it for. One pistol--_ that can be used for conceal & carry (Compact mag), home protection (xtension mag), and target practice to improve my skills. I have average size hands and the grip was very good. I still need to play with the diff back straps to see which fits me best. Another plus is it comes with 3 sizes to choose from! I tried the Glock-S&W-Sig (Can't remember which models but it was a compact) but it didn't fit me as well as the XDM, didn’t have the flexibility options, nor was I as accurate with them. Now, here is a novice review or initial impression. The slide as well as the release of the magazines were tight initially but seemed to “loosen” up a bit after firing my 150 rounds. The mag release still isn’t as smooth/easy as I would like but I assume that is to be expected when it is brand new. Trigger/Recoil- A little heavy but smooth and I did well with re-acquiring my target after each shot. Sights-Seemed perfect out of the box. Appearance-Solid, This pistol is mean looking, sharp-love it! I know appearance has no bearing on performance but there is something to be said for it. I shot ALL rounds within the “9” on the C&C qualifying target from 10+ yards out. I know, not very far but remember, I am new and haven’t shot a pistol in 20 years and I would easily qualify for my C&C and be accurate within the most common range of home intrusions/personal safety situations. In summary, this pistol feels great in my hand, has various customization options that come with it, is accurate, and reliable (so far and based on many others feedback). The ordering process was easy and the service representative was terrific-answered all my questions. Honest and accurate. My XDMI love it and would recommend BudsGunShop.com to everyone!

My first purchase thru Bud's. Delivered to my FFL in the "7 BUSINESS DAYS" as advertised, but I was hoping for a faster. Transfer was hassle free. I've put 300 rounds thru it, no FTFs or FTEs. Gun is accurate with managable recoil. I needed the Pearce extension on the 10 rnd mag to fit my hand. I have a Powder River Precision trigger kit on order, and I'm expecting it to make the gun even nicer to shoot than it already is.

LOVE THIS GUN!!! Have XD-SC's, XDM's, 3.8, etc, THIS IS THE BEST FEELING Sub-Compact I've held from Springfield, Glock's, M&P's, etc. It JUST FEEL'S LIKE AN EXTENSION OF THE HAND!!! And fit's my XD Crossbreed S.Tuck Deluxe like a GLOVE! Haven't got to shoot it yet, so this is a preliminary 'review', but knowing the XD/XDM's I've shot thus far I expect nothing but the best on reliability, and accuracy. LOVE IT, will come back POST-SHOOT, and report. But so far, my FAVORITE CCW PISTOL... SAYING A LOT, hope the range reinforces this, but I'd say buy WITH CONFIDENCE, Lifetime Warranty....... AWESOME! Buds 5-stars, Springfield... 5-stars AS ALWAYS!! Be back with range report, GREAT GUN!!! BUY NOW IF YOU WANT IT, and ENJOY!! 11+1 .40 SC, it ROCKS! Steve M.

Excellent job Buds. The XDM is one sweet shooting pistol. 450 rounds through it so far and it's only getting better.

Transaction was flawless. Used the convenient laway. The handgun shipped quickly to my FFL where the process was quick and painless. Unpacking the new XDm everything is clean and solid. The case is exceptional and is packed with the usual XDm goodies. Going to feed this baby 50-100 rounds of ball ammo tomorrow and see how it performs but I expect it will be awesome based on the build of the gun and Sprinfield's reputation.

Searched high and low for good price on a Springfield XDm 3.8" compact .40 and found the best price on Bud's. Ordering was easy, customer service chat quickly answered any questions, and was delivered in a week as promised. Very pleased!
